Vice President of Development, Hiller Aviation Museum

Audie Amirkiai - prior to working at the Hiller Aviation Museum, Audie transformed a part-time college job as an usher with the San Jose Earthquakes to become the Community Relations Manager for the Quakes and oversaw the organization's charitable arm, the Quakes Foundation.  

Born in Santa Clara, Audie moved to Hollister at age 4, starting kindergarten that year as there were no preschools in the small farming community. By 13, and ready for more people and action, she began commuting more than an hour each way to high school in San Jose. Soccer was always part of the game, starting with rec and moving on to club play through college at St. Mary’s, where she majored in sociology. 

In her spare time, Audie loves to spend time with her endlessly supportive family. “I truly am so grateful for them and for all the love, energy, and guidance they bring into my life,” she says. She relishes staying active, especially through soccer, but also kickboxing!
